Cathy Wilson – Trainee Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor london E8Cathy Wilson

Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor (MBACP)

My name is Cathy Wilson, I am an Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor working at HQ Therapy Rooms in Dalston, Hackney, London E8.

I know choosing a therapist can be difficult especially when you have symptoms and issues to deal with.

Whether it is your first time in therapy, or you are revisiting, understanding the therapist’s approach can be helpful.

I want you to have confidence in me and our working relationship to discover the changes you want to make to support your general well-being.

My therapeutic approach is guided by the type of client’s needs at a pace the client feels comfortable with.

I provide a confidential and non-judgemental space where through talking, individuals can explore and understand their lived experiences.

The therapeutic relationship is fundamental to therapy and will be key to stimulating change for the individual.

I work closely with clients to explore their relationship with their world and how they orientate themselves within life, supporting them to navigate change. My work is grounded in existential and relational psychotherapy.

Clients will have an opportunity to explore not only their past but also the here and now and how this impacts their day-to-day lives.

So much of the trauma and experiences that shape us are expressed in physical expression within us.

Although my practice is predominantly talking therapy, I encourage clients to explore their bodily experiences and how they may be carrying their anxieties, stresses and emotions with the view to releasing some of this tension through the therapeutic work.

My aim is to support individuals to explore their possibilities and choices to enable them to be agents of change in their own lives and to feel empowered by that change.

I am available to work with clients both face-to-face or via Zoom video consultations.

I have a MA in Psychotherapy & Counselling (Existential) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling. I am an individual member of the BACP and a trainee member of the UKCP and SEA.

Fees:
My standard fee is £65.00 for fifty minutes in person

For online I charge £55.00 for fifty minutes over zoom

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy. Simply fill out the form below in confidence, and one of our fully qualified referral therapists can work with you to make sure you connect with the right practitioner and receive the correct therapy and counselling services you require.
